Oh great, more Oasis. And not only MORE Oasis, but Oasis being extra crazy, in the rain, with dyed-black hair and serious "Oh no, she's going to kill Zoe!" storylines. Boy howdy do I hate Oasis and everything that happens whenever she shows up in the comic. This particular chunk of the comic almost made me put the comic down.

Best book, so far. 'A Beige Horn Mist' is good Sluggy fun. 'Fire and Rain' (chapter 27) is amazing. The drawing becomes art, the story is touching and sad. 'The Great House War' is more classic Sluggy fun, even the guest art week in 'The Amazing Chapter' (28) is pretty fun. The book finishes off with chapter 29, 'Books', in which 'Shadow Boxing' is hilarious (I was genuinely 'lol'-ing) and 'Something Happened to Zoe' is very sweet (and fun). A vast improvement over the preceding collection, 'A Very Big Bang'.

I read Sluggy Freelance for a pretty long time in its webcomic form. This one was the best story arc as well as the best art work. I still want a colored print.
